I think existence is incredibly, inherently daunting, overwhelming, and uncomfortable; and anyone who dedicates time to, or profits off, making others' lives harder truly deserves to know no peace.

I strive to never be one of those people and to keep them from my people.

Together, we find our way.
You must learn to take joy in the little things, like the awkward silence as he realizes you're not joking. Bonus points for a stammer or an "Uh, anyway..."
i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Thinking about this meme & how the white, both in its generous proportion & description of basic decency as heroic, never sat right with me. We've heard of numerous cases of men drugging wives & inviting men to rape them with NONE reporting it. Where were those "heroes"?

I dunno, man, I feel like 'chic' is one of those descriptors where you can absolutely be that thing, but if it's self-ascribed (as it is here) it is most certainly not accurate.

the horrific cornell gang rape case has me thinking about emma sulkowicz who alleged she was raped as a student at columbia in 2014 and never got any justice.

it has me thinking about the physical and mental weight young women are forced to carry while their safety is subsumed by male potential.

Really only two possibilities here:

1) Mike Johnson is an idiot.
2) Mike Johnson is an idiot and a liar.
Mike Johnson says opposition to data centers "is a Chinese psyop. I really believe that. That's not a conspiracy theory."

The GOP is an opposition party even when it's in power, the idea that they are the perpetual underdog is central to their internal mythology and can't be disturbed by facts or the results of elections. It's also why they're bad at, you know, governing.

I'm a lifelong country fan who loves good country but this is just... incorrect.

Nashville hasn't been a *musical* leader in the industry since the genre decided that pandering was more important than music. The best country comes from outside Nashville, *in spite of* Nashville tastemakers.

A core belief uniting Trumpists with Silicon Valley tech bros is that society should be organized around male entitlement to sex: a cross between Mad Men and the old Playboy Mansion.
Women trying to succeed in Silicon Valley AI and effective altruist spaces are reporting feeling serious social pressure to attend sex parties - where people have reported being sexually assaulted, like below.

Events like Aella’s “Slutcon,” which is happening again this weekend.

Bernie making pisspoor personnel choices?? Bernie listening to cranks????
I regret to inform you all that Bernie Sanders is in fact taking meetings with noted rationalist wacko Eliezer Yudkowsky over what AI regulations should look like.

The only thing I don't enjoy about visiting my sister is that they simply don't keep this house cool enough, and now it's 1am and I'm laying spread-eagle under a ceiling fan wishing I was dead.

Vought is breaking the law but he is not “going rogue.” At his confirmation hearings, Vought told Republicans he would do this and they voted for him anyway. If they want to stop him, they still can via impeachment. They won’t.
Congress funded the CDC's Alzheimer's work, the sickle cell and epilepsy data programs and a rape prevention unit, and Vought simply will not release the money. Grassley told him to his face he lacks the authority. The pocket rescission alone took 4.9 billion.
Republicans furious as Trump’s budget director goes 'rogue'
The director of the Office of Management and Budget is infuriating Republican lawmakers by "going rogue" on what appropriations were approved by the House and Senate.

This guy definitely calls himself an 'evil genius' in the mirror.
“So, you know, if you're evil, you're at least competent. And if you're evil, you're not bad, and therefore you're actually maybe kind of good because you're at least getting something done.

“I think it's better to be good than evil.”

for whatever it's worth: as a political philosopher I fully cosign this message
i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

ok, i kind of think Todd Achilles is the real deal candidate-wise. i gave him some money.

i'm going to sit down and do some math and try to figure out if this is legitimately a no-hoper or if this is a longshot-big-payoff bet, but if there's a chance we may do some cooking for him on Bsky
goin’ to a Todd Achilles fundraiser, gonna see how the Sensible Centrists live
September 2026 and i am seriously trying to figure out if there's any chance a Republican incumbent is going to lose a Senate seat in Idaho
